So your saying to bring my nitrates up to 10 to 15, I can run my fuge light down to 8 hours and check the levels, I feed 1 a day reef roids and fish flakes on feed mode for 5 minutes, target feed all corals and dump the rest for the remainder of the feed cycle, skimmer is set to not turn back on for 1 hour after feed cycles

That’s all phosphate rich foods. You probably have a large nitrate : phosphate imbalance. You aren’t feeding frozen foods daily??

Ok , I go a place called " aquatic collection in hayward CA , very high quality LFS, i also might add I had to do some some plumbing repairs to my return pipe, I let the glue setup for at least 2 hours, soaked it in a RO bath then put it on, I have never seen pioe glue cause a toxin but ...just throwing it out their, I also did a 15g water change a hour after putting the pipe back on just to make sure

I used to shop there all the time when I lived in the Bay area. Carson is a good guy.

I would get a good water test to find out where you are really at, then make adjustments as needed. Myself, I prefer lower alkalinity, especially if you have lower nutrients.
Also, 6 months is stiill relatively new for a tank, sometimes sps just struggle in newer tanks.
 
I did my last nitrate test 3 days ago, I just did a small test on ny lunch,
Nitrates was 10ppm
Ph was 7.9
Ammonia was a tad between 0 and o.25 nitrite was 0 phosphate I ran out of solution,
I did notice a cardinal missing this am but I wouldn't think it would swing that fast, I've have always had 120+ gallon tanks never a nano reef, I do waterchanges every Sunday about 10gs my salt is reef crystals and I have a 150gpd duel di ro system, and changed all filters and membranes 2 months ago tds always 0.00, I mix my salt per change and it is heated to 78deg mixed at temp , filter socks every 3 days plus my filter floss every Sunday, skinmer skimate is a tan to dark color through the s120 eshopps, it is rated at 75gallons and my total water volume is about 50gallons

All my corals come from them, I also dip and quarantine for 1 week, had tanks in the past with Hitchhiker's causing pests and so one, so now I'm paranoid, water is super crystal clear all the time, not running carbon of any kind but yes that store is super legit, clean and I recommend if you live or traveling to the bayarea to stop and check them out
